Nary Manivong :: 2005
Nary and his three siblings, Laotian-Americans, were abandoned by their parents when he was 14. Through sheer determination he managed to work several jobs, graduate from high school, and keep clean. Self-taught, Nary was persistent enough in the face of incredible odds to get sponsorship for his project. His collection and his story captured media attention and he was named one of 12 designers to watch by Women's Wear Daily. Nary has recently partnered with stylist Alexandria Hilfiger on a new brand called NAHM, an acronym of their initials which means "water" in Laotian. www.narymanivong.com
MoMo Falana :: 2004 :: MoMo SoHo's designs combine couture sensibility and craftsmanship making each creation as beautiful and unique as the person who wears it. Clients know that when the design team creates special garments for them, they are bound to get attention. Sarah Jessica Parker did, when she wore a MoMo gold brocade coat on the Season 4 "Finale" episode of Sex in the City. Joss Stone did, at the Grammy's when she sang a Janis Joplin duet with Melissa Etheridge. And Britney Spears did, at the Billboard Music Awards show in her long, electric-orange sheer coat, topped by a feathered fedora. The line's client list keeps growing, and includes numerous stage and film costume designers and stylists and other notable individuals such as models Jessica Miller, Angie Lindvall, Claudia Schiffer, Paris Hilton, and Stephanie Seymour, actresses Uma Thurman and Frances McDormand and musicians Alicia Keys, Liz Phair, Steven Van Zandt and Lil' Kim. www.momofalana.com
